Today’s Blog Hop with ESAD (that is Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators – We are all pretty special though!), is focusing on creating a Fancy Fold or a 3D project using products from the 2017 Holiday Catalogue. You would have just come from the very talented Sue’s blog HERE.
I love a Fun Fold card so I was keen to take part in this Blog Hop. Today I have made what I call a ‘LATCH FOLD’. It could be called a Buckle Fold as I have been investigating but there is no slit that the flap tucks in to so I will still call it a Latch Fold. 🙂
I have used the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set found on page 35 of the Holiday Catalogue and my favourite Christmas colour combinations of Island Indigo and Pool Party.
The “Merry Christmas” sentiment is heat embossed in silver to add some sparkle. It was cut with the Layering Circle Framelits and then raised up with Dimensionals on an Island Indigo circle cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and then this was raised up on a Silver Foil circle cut with a scallop in the Layering Circle Framelits. Before adhering it to the card I looped around some Silver Thread. The snowflake is from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits cut from Silver Foil too. To make that stand out I punched a circle from Island Indigo with the 3/4″ circle punch.
Here is the inside. I added a strip of Pool Party card which I had embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.
Do you want to make one yourself??
Stop by tomorrow I have made another Latch Fold card and I will share the instructions then.
